West Side Park ribbon cutting held August 10

On Thursday, August 10, the Carrington Chamber & EDC held a ribbon cutting at the West Side Park to recognize the Grand Opening of the exciting new playground. The park playground had not been updated for several decades. This project was spearheaded by the Carrington Healthy Communities Coalition and came to fruition with many generous local donations and grants from various entities. Michele Seil, President of the Carrington Healthy Communities Coalition, was instrumental in the planning, organizing, grant writing and more.
